Islanders came ready for business tonight. Not sure Boston can keep up with them. Tied right now, but we shall see.

I don't think their window is closed. Marchand and Bergeron have aged very well, and Krecji is still a decent 2C. Their issue is not enough experience on the blueline (plus some injuries there during these playoffs). They can move on from Rask and go young in net, maybe find a way to sign Hall.
Honestly if they don't miss empty nets in Game 5, that series is still going, and Rask was clearly playing hurt.

Idk, they seem like a 6 player team to me and only 2 of them play D. Their depth got exposed big time, not sure they have the pieces to address that without moving one of those 6. I do wonder if Hall played himself out of a contract in that last series. He wasn't just invisible, he was outright bad. Like turnover after turnover bad.

"We lost to a team $18 million over the cap," Hamilton said during exit interviews. "It makes you realize how good they are, how much talent they have."

Everyone's depth is going to be hurting if some of their top D men get hurt, though. Agree about Hall in that series, though, he looked rough. Happens sometimes, but the question for him will be was his little rebirth with the Bruins another flash in the pan, or who he can be going forward? Really curious to see what his new contract ends up at.
